The Principles of State Interference: Four Essays on the Political Philosophy of Mr. Herbert Spencer, J. S. Mill, and T. H. Green (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of State Interference: Four Essays on the Political Philosophy of Mr. Herbert Spencer, J. S. Mill, and T. H. Green
HE first three essays in this volume were published five years ago in Time, and are mainly occupied with a criticism of Mr. Herbert Spencer's T/ze Man versus t/ze State and of certain parts of J. S. Mill's Liberty. The fourth essay ap peared in the Contemporary Review for June, 1887. The questions discussed have certainly not declined in importance since these dates. The first three essays have, in parts, undergone considerable altera tion. But I have retained the original form and manner of treatment, in the belief that a short and controversial examination of two very well known books may, for many purposes, be more profitable than an elaborate and systematic treatise, for which in any case I have not found the leisure. Some thing may still be said for using the dialectical.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the individual and the state, offering a critical analysis of the growing trend towards state intervention in areas traditionally considered the domain of individual enterprise. The author examines the work of prominent thinkers like Herbert Spencer and John Stuart Mill, exploring their conceptions of individual liberty, societal organization, and the role of government. The author challenges the notion that a powerful state necessarily leads to a diminished individual freedom, arguing instead that a well-ordered society requires a strong state to ensure the protection of individual rights and the conditions necessary for prosperity. The book explores the historical development of individual liberty, tracing its evolution from the early stages of primitive societies, where customs and traditions often took the place of formal laws, to the emergence of a more complex and differentiated individual within modern states. Drawing on insights from philosophers and political theorists, the author constructs a compelling argument that recognizes the state not as an adversary to the individual, but as an essential partner in the creation and preservation of individual freedom. This book offers a fresh perspective on a timeless debate, exploring the complex interplay between individual rights and state power, and ultimately demonstrating the vital role of the state in facilitating individual flourishing.
